Trump Pledges Tax Credits, Tariffs to Redirect Jobs from China

“President Donald Trump said he’ll punish American companies that move jobs abroad and reward firms with tax breaks for shifting work from China to the U.S., proposals aimed at hastening the decoupling of the world’s largest economies. “We will create tax credits for companies that bring jobs from China back to America, and we’ll impose tariffs on companies that leave America to produce jobs overseas,” he said in a speech Monday in Minnesota.”

That would echo a proposal this week by Germany, where the finance minister wants to extend support to 24 months.”
